Man, it's been such a long time that an episode left me in such shock and awe, that was insane if Death Parade gets this same tense atmosphere for the next few episodes left I'm giving it between 9/10 or 10/10, a show that can actually change someone's perspective on life one way or another deserves a perfect score, damn

I am kind of annoyed we didn't find out how the brother died. What happened after he stabbed the detective?

He bled to death after he got stabbed in the chest by the stalker. I'm surprised how many people actually missed that.

I missed this as well, actually. I thought it wasn't portrayed that clearly.

Anyone find it stupid how God had a shortage of arbiters, that he had to send Decim to judge people who kill?

Wouldn't it be common sense to just create more arbiters?

I'm astonished on how good this anime is. Such an amazing, powerful episode. When the brother stabbed the chips, I was screaming, "NO!" Man, that was so messed up.

So, I'm guessing they both got sent to the void. Oh, man. Onna's words really got to Decim. I wonder how these two are going to act in the next episode.

Another thing I just realized the brother's voice actor was Sakurai, Takahiro voice! Oh my god I'm FANBOYING so hard right now. I adore his voice so much. I'm very glad to hear his work in one of my favorite anime.

I liked the episode but I don't think this should have been drawn out over two episodes.

I'm pretty sure there wasn't really a shortage and Nona made that excuse to test Decim. Also, while I think it would be extremely easy for God to create more arbiters seeing how the arbiters are most likely just puppets/mannequins given 'life', it seems like it might be a bit difficult to train them so they don't completely mess up the judgments like Decim did in episode 1.

How is this boring, dull and disappointing in any way? You must just have extremely high standards and shit taste in anime. If it disinterests you so much, stop fucking watching it you hipster.

Ahh I see. You're top 5 are the most generic, mainstream anime produced in the last decade. So your shit taste is the explanation. Sorry there is no fucking boring ass MC with Gary-stu Deus ex powers and corny catch phrases to help relieve you of your boredom.

The end felt overdramatized for me. Onna's outburst was shoving the idea of the system's flaw way too obviously. From my limited knowledge of psychology peoples' minds are really complex things, and so is the process of decision making. Therefore, the whole premisses of the show could be discarded at the very beginning, but it does make us think about our own values and "judgement system" so for me, I just go along with the premises. I would prefer a subtle expression of concepts, but hey, this isn't Aoi Bungaku.
The moment Decim decided to continue despite the end of the game undermined all the judgement principles he was following up to the point. I am expecting him to forfeit judging when Onna's turn comes.

I admire how this series relies so heavily on situational irony to tell a story. It was well applied, too. Really great development in two episodes. Loved the parallelism as well, the way both characters had those sinister grins in the end.

"You can meet your sister again in another form if you reincarnate"
Me: Ohh really? O.O

Poor script. The only sequence I liked was when the ending song started, that part was quite well directed. As for the episode itself, we get a flash of their life before their death every 2 minutes, that was annoying.

Didn't like the detective's reasoning as well, it didn't make much sense. I also don't understand the "smile" on the face of that young boy at the end, that's not the face he's supposed to make, unless the writers are hinting that he descended to darkness as well, which again, doesn't make much sense. If he's happy that he finally gotten his revenge, it doesn't seem right as well, that's not how he should feel after the whole ending sequence. Just few of my thoughts.

I don't know if it was brought up in the thread or not, but how did the guy with the sister die? And how did they get coupled together when he clearly kills the detective first (when they're supposed to die at the same time according to the mediums' rules)?

I feel like this was the first episode that got into the storyline. It'll be interesting to see how they're going to end it in a mere 3 episodes.

Also, that ending was quite ambiguous. Did the camera shot of the elevator demon face suggest that both souls were sent to the void?

I'm also curious about Mayu and Harada.. Were they judged?

EDIT: Oh! I nearly forgot to add.. So how did Shimada die?!?

Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!

Yeah, I loved how it slowly got more insane as the episode progressed. Damn when he swung that knife down and the ed song started playing, I literally jumped up and my mouth swung open.

It might explain a little bit about what happened at the end, in the dialogue of next weeks episode.

My god...another fucking amazing episode...captivated the entire time. Infinity/Infinity.

I'm also assuming that at the end they only showed the Devil mask that is implying that the both of them went to the void.
